I’ve shown the facts, I’ve drawn the charts,
The is breaking up, the Earth’s losing heart.
I speak rising seas, of scorching flames,
But they turn away, it’s all the same.
Why won't they listen? Why can’t see?
The planet’s crying out, it’s clear to me.
We’re on the edge, a precipice,
Yet they deny, they dismiss.
They say it’s just a phase, a twist of fate,
Ignoring all the signs before it’s too late.
They of cycles, of nature’s way,
While the forests burn, by day.
I’m tired of shouting into the void,
truth so clear, yet they’re so annoyed.
What will take for them to care?
When will they see future we share?
I’ve seen the reefs turn white, wildlife flee,
The consequence of our own folly.
We the key to change, it’s in our hands,
But stands like shifting sands.
I’ll keep on fighting, I won’t stand down,
For every tree, for every town.
I one day, they’ll hear the call,
And join the fight, before we fall.
